So if I, you know, if you have young scientists that are listening and they're just starting their career, I want to know more about those who were bullied and seemed to do okay. I wanted, and maybe they had a protective gene. Maybe there was something about the way, like maybe the other protective, it might not even have been biological protective mechanism.

It could have been their family was so amazing. Older brother. You know, like there's going to be so many things in the, but that would be great because historically we haven't focused on positive side of things. We've really focused on deficits and what's negative. So I want to know that.

And I think that comes down to therapy, like cognitive behavioral therapy would be really good. Can I mention another thing that kind of makes me... So like in my book, I really mentioned that like at the end of the day, we don't know what the long-term implications are. Like, well, we have an idea that it's not going to be good. We don't know if this can be fixed, if we can change this...

how bullying gets under the skin to confer a risk. You know, I imagine we can because we're quite plastic. There's a lot of plasticity. One of the things that we're doing is we're trying to reduce bullying in earnest. And what studies are showing, and we just showed it, we still need to publish it, but it's just replicating what's been shown across Europe.

There's this healthy context paradox where if you reduce bullying, the few kids left in the school who are bullied have worse mental outcomes. So in a sense, we've now made some kids even more vulnerable by reducing bullying. Wow. So what do you think that's about? Because I know you're a smart guy and you usually have the answer.

So I think there's going to be a little bit of that. And that part hasn't, to my knowledge, hasn't been really looked at. But I love your answer. So I will tell you the answer to that because we have the data and I'll be able to know that. I think it comes back to also attributions. If there's a lot of us being picked on, the attribution is, these guys are just jerks.

Like, it's not about me because I'm not the only one. But if I'm the only one or there's only a few of us, There's something fundamentally wrong with us. That is, I think, the attribution error that occurs. So we're trying our best to reduce bullying. And in doing so, we're causing harm to a certain segment of the population. So now I'm going to school after school.
